 We are glad to inform you that 88th Vardhanti (Birth Anniversary) of Pujyasri Swami Nityananada Giri was celebrated on Wednesday, the 25th May, 2016 at Sri Gnanananda Niketan.

On the day of Vardhanti, 20 Vedic Pundits took part in the Mahannyasa Ekadasa Rudra Japa. Sri. Mahaganapathi Homa, Navagra-ha Homa, Avahanti Homa, Mrutunjaya Homa and Rudra Homa were performed after which Vasordhara was offered praying for the welfare and prosperity of all.

Prayers were offered for the good health of Swamiji and many more years of his service to the Brahma Vidya tradition. It was also prayed that all devotees may be blessed with the fourfold Purusharthas – Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha, fulfilment of all desires and above all, ever increasing devotion to God and Guru. May they be blessed with Viveka (discrimination between Real and non-Real), Vairagya (dispassion) and Gnana (Self-knowledge) !

Devotees offered their Pranams to Swamiji after Abhisheka. 

Swamiji prayed that Sadgurudev may bless all devotees with intense Sradha or spiritual aspiration, unshakable faith in the scriptures and teachings of the Guru.
